Try riding the n/b  out of Brooklyn during the AM rush. Legitimately one of the more miserable experiences there is — the gentrification of Fort Greene and  transfers slam those trains. 

To be honest off peak the  riders drop a lot. It’s only packed during AM/PM peak

3303-3307 is at Pitkin

What’s the deal with 7851-7905? Did they scrap that idea? If not, are those buses for NYCT or MTA BUS Company? Not sure what’s the hold up here, but I’ll wait until more information....

My bet its going to MTA but their hybrids are up for retirement also so maybe it is scrap but the have a lot of OGs

If it hadn’t been for the R40s and R42s not having door controls in the T/O cabs, putting them in 8-car trains on the  wouldn’t have been a problem, because then they would have been able to run 4/4 like the 32s do and the 38s did. But no, they had to let the bean counters run the show and so they took a step back in flexibility by not specifying door controls in the T/O cabs for the 40s and 42s. Probably also why they didn’t go with all-stainless bodies for the R38 through R44 cars.

Felt the same way bro

What conductor issue?

Guessing because the R42/R40 was married pair  and they would have to 3/5 like the conductors on the  does with the R42/R32 , they had have to  for the conductor board at the station. Plus the  stations are longer than the  with would be the  stop that the 10 marker instead of the 8 so the conductor could see the conductor board at each station

Which means more 72xx’s for Ulmer Park and possibly some OG’s to East New York. 

Or give ENY more OGs and pull out more 7100s

You do realize that only three Brooklyn Division depots are currently capable of handling artics, right?

Isn’t ENY almost Artic ready as well 

Just now, Eagle Railfanning said:

R46s will probably start popping up more on the  C as the 10 car R179s come in, and R46s will likely replace most R32s on the A and C. It’ll eventually reach a point where they have R32s sitting in the yard and trying not to run them— to prepare for scrap.

Then what are they gonna do with all the R179s lol on the  can’t push everything on the  lol

Yes, I saw an R179 leaving for Brooklyn on the  yesterday while transferring from the  to the  at Fulton. My  was also an R179.

Wondering what they’re gonna do with with surplus on R46 and R32 on the  lines 

Does anybody know why does the  goes to 96st-2nd Ave on weekends. Kinda don’t get that move lol

With all the LFSAs going to WF does that also mean the XD40 will be pushed out soon ?!?
